Ethyl 1-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-nitrophenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate → Ethyl 1-(4-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 1-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-nitrophenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (2.8 g), in dry MeOH (100 mL), Pd(OH)2 (1.2 g) was added and the reaction mixture was reduced under an atmosphere of H2 for 6 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite™ washing with MeOH. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to yield ethyl 1-(4-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (2.4 g) as a thick liquid.
